Nail polish?

[Milestone]

I know nail polish ( and remover ) is not safe for birds - the fumes.

But how about when it's dry? Say if after its completely dry and a bird chips off a piece and eats it? I never use the stuff anyway but what if I do one day? It's something I never found info on...

JMHO I would say no, all the chemicals are poison even for us human little alone a bird.

I would be more worried about the blood running out of your finger from your bird biting after getting a look at these new/different/threatening things on your hands.

I painted my lovely toes, Ella was all about trying to touch my toes all along saying "bad girl", she doesn't touch them now I did the poke on her wing... all good!

Nail polish is bad stuff, even for humans. I stopped using anything on my nails several years ago except coconut oil and they look better than ever.

I know painted nails can look like salad to bearded dragons, my birds never had that issue
Personal experience and my
I'd say I've been halfway lucky there

Both of my boys go after my nails if I have anything on them. They act like I've tricked them and installed snakes!

My cockatiel doesn't particularly like when she sees any of my snakes moving in their cages. My IRN could care less. A hamster is pretty interesting though to both of them. Nail polish never bothered either of them. Go figure. Then again I did dye my hair green for a while. Maybe they just expect me to be a different color often.
